NAME

       el -- program to make a tuned shell-command for Oneliner

SYNOPSIS

       el  [-acdfhioxV]   [--command cmd]  [--args n]  [--format fmt]  [--execute]  [--inpipe buf]  [--outpipe buf]  [--serial]  [--help]  [--ver-
       sion]  [--debug]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the el command.

       This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.  Instead, it  has  docu-
       mentation in the GNU       Info format; see below.

       el  is  a program that You can make a tuned shell-command for Oneliner with.  This command can send S-exp to Emacs, and this can make Emacs
       evaluate it, too.  In other words, you can execute Emacs's function from shell-commands.  And you can make Emacs work in closer cooperation
       with your favorite shell-commands.

OPTIONS

       These  programs  follow  the  usual  GNU  command  line  syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-').  A summary of options is
       included below.  For a complete description, see the Info files.

       -c cmd           --command cmd
                 cmd means a function of Elisp.  Command line arguments and data from stdin means arguments of cmd.  If you specify  the  only  -c

       --a n           --args n
                 Specifies the maximum number of arguments of a Elisp function with -c switch.

                 Allows you to use format string of printf for making a S-exp.

       -x           --execute
                 Requests to Oneliner to evaluate the S-exp to use *Oneliner auto-eval* buffer.

       -i buf           --inpipe buf
                 Gets input from pipe-buffer. You can specify a number of pipe-buffer, too.

       -o buf           --outpipe buf
                 Puts output to pipe-buffer. You can specify a number of pipe-buffer, too.

       -s           --serial
                 Makes el to serialize multiple lines to one line.
